Speed Reading to Accelerate Learning

The more effectively you read the better you maximise your capacity to absorb new information and ensure your success! Whether you're a student at school or university, a professional intent on staying abreast of the latest industry information, a manager or business owner leading an organisation, or just intent on building on your existing knowledge base, the ability to read strategically and with speed is vital.

Can you read 1,000 words a minute? With the challenges of information overload you face daily, reading 1,000 words a minute with full comprehension has become a necessary skill for everyone. Buzan’s Speed Reading techniques work with how your mind works and give you the capacity to effectively handle and manage incoming information, enabling you to keep one step ahead.

Objective:

Today's fast paced world demands the ability to rapidly absorb and understand enormous amounts of new information. It has been estimated by the United Nations that a knowledge worker in most fields needs to be able to read at least 400 Words per Minute in order to just keep abreast of what is happening in their field. Yet most people read at 300 WPM or less. This makes many professionals functionally illiterate!

Benefits:

When properly applied and used to their full extent speed reading techniques allow people to:

Make faster connections between related themes, issues and ideas to put these to use

Rapidly gain an appreciation of new material, and build their knowledge database

Get through study material faster and with greater comprehension and recall

Finally deal with the pile of reports, papers and magazines in the corner, and the unread books on the bookshelf

Read on-screen material easily, and manage emails effectively

Bring your reading to life using the new knowledge and skills you've gained
